Not if you specify all the information on the command line.

If you get a noSuchName error back, then the agent refuses to accept
the set operation. The fact that you can write sysName does not
automatically imply that you can write all other MIB objects.
I suggest to use tcpdump or ethereal to check whether the request on
the wire is really what you expect it to be. If yes, then the problem
must be solved on the agent side.
